The Threshold HouseBoys Choir - A Time of Happening



Filmed at the GinJae (vegetarian) Festival held in Bangkok Thailand.
This was Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson's first musical venture since the untimely death of his Coil partner John Balance.

This video is incredibly hypnotic and is the first part of the Threshold HouseBoys Choir CD/DVD release 'Form Grows Rampant'.
All voices are from indigenous sources, completely re-styled, re-tuned and re-arranged.
The sound & vision on this release work perfectly together.
Would you expect anything else from someone who was part of the Hipgnosis design group for so long?

Sleazy is probably packing his bags at his compound in Thailand at this present time to go and 'wreck some civilisation' in America as Throbbing Gristle are about to perform there for the first time since 1981.
Boy am I jealous of the people going this time around, though I was lucky enough to have witnessed numerous performances by TG in London in the seventies and (very) early eighties.

(Use the search engine to the right as there is more TG scattered throughout this blog!)
